Everyone is being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic right now, including tarot readers. CTS has done its part to encourage social distancing by cancelling scheduled in-person meetings.
But that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy tarot together! CTS has a new Facebook community (just for registered members - see our how to join page if you're interested in connecting online). We have also decided to hold our monthly meetings via conference call for the foreseeable future.
We had originally planned an entirely different topic for today's meeting when we thought meetings would continue to be in-person, and when we realized we needed to be socially distancing we thought we would have to cancel today's meeting entirely. But then one of our newest members jumped to the rescue and came up with an innovative tarot trivia game that could be played over the phone.
We weren't sure how a conference call would work with so many members, but were willing to try, and it actually went really well! In fact, we had unusually high turnout because members who live further out, or who have moved out of the area, and have a hard time making it to in-person meetings were able to join. This has inspired us to continue to try to hold meetings by phone until things get back to normal.
You can view our meeting schedule for the rest of the year on our meetings and presentations page. You will note that the listed schedule is still super tentative as we try to coordinate with scheduled presenters about either converting their presentations to a remote format or, where it would make more sense to hold a particular presentation in person, to postpone their presentations for later in the year and come up with a new, virtual-friendly topic for that month.
In any case, we are thrilled to still get to connect with our tarot buddies during the pandemic. For many of us CTS has become like family and monthly meetings are a constant in our lives even while other things are up in the air.
Stay tuned for more updates!
